Google Misses Deadline to Revise Privacy Policy

This is why you need to put everything in your calendar. French authorities on Friday reported that Google missed the deadline to revise its privacy policies to clarify what it does with users' data. The French data protection agency, CNIL, warned in June that it would impose $200,000 in fines if the tech giant did not revise its policy by September. Google contested the threat, saying that its policy "respects European law and allows us to create simpler, more effective services."
